The functional enhancements are included in both manuals “HSMS Volumes 1 and 2”.
HSMS V12.0C
New version backup features
In HSMS V12.0C more features for version backup are introduced:
- During reorganization of version backup archive, it is possible to save the archive directory (new SAVE-DIRECTORY operand was added). Due to this process the archive directory, which is updated during the reorganization process, can also be written to the save file.
- The new values of DIRECTORY-LOCK parameter of //MDA command is implemented. UNLOCK-VERSION-DIR value have been added in order the directory can be usable again in case it was previously locked as a result of abnormal shutdown of the //BACKUP-FILE-VERSIONS or //REORGANIZE-VERSION-BACKUP commands or after importing it from the save file created via REORGANIZE-VERSION-BACKUP with SAVE-DIRECTORY=*YES.
Migration features improvements
- In HSMS V12.0C, migration from S2 to S2 level removes duplicates of valid files, leaving only one unique valid file version in the reorganized save file.
- From HSMS V12.0C REPAIR-CATALOG-BY-RESTORE issues messages into report when no suitable version of the file of FULL save type in the specified (version) backup archive. Output of these messages is provided when among the list of files that are contained in the (version) backup archive and can be restored there are no files with the PARTIAL save type.
Support of the new Net-Storage volume type - NETVOL
The new Net-Storage volume type NETVOL is introduced with BS2000 V21.0A, HSMS V12.0C provides support of Net-Storage files residing on NETVOL volumes. The Net-Storage volumes of NETVOL volume type can be used as a storage media.
Handling of obsolete device types
Since BS2000 V21.0A some of device types have become old and are not supported in the new environment. For such purpose displaying of such devices was changed, now ?XX? is displayed for unknown devices (XX = the hex code of the volume type).
HSMS V12.0D
Automatic reorganization of HSMS directories
In HSMS V12.0D it is possible to activate automatic reorganization of a directory during HSMS save runs. Thus it is no longer necessary to use DIRCONV for reorganizing directories. For details see section "Archive directory".
Reorganization of save file of long term archives
From HSMS V12.0D it is possible to delete automatically the save file in a long term archive after copying only the save versions which file expiration date has not yet been reached or had been reached after the specified date in the past. This is done with the new operand EXPIRATION-AFTER=<date>(INPUT-SAVE-FILE=*DELETE) in the save version selection of COPY-SAVE-FILE statement.
Forced move of save files within version backup archives
From HSMS V12.0D it is possible to use REORGANIZE-VERSION-BACKUP statement for moving save files within a version backup archive irrespective of existence of obsolete files versions. For details see section "REORGANIZE-VERSION-BACKUP".
Removing of duplicates of valid files during migration from S1 to S1
From HSMS V12.0D migration from S1 to S1 storage transfers only one valid version of a valid file and removes all its existing copies within the selected save files.
Restoring files with dialog file select via range of original save versions
From HSMS V12.0D it is possible to select files/job variables versions via DIALOG-FILE-SELECT/DIALOG-JV-SELECT based on their original save version dates from the range of dates specified by the CREATED-BEFORE and CREATED-AFTER operands. It is possible to see the original date and time on which the file/job variable version was saved in long-term or migration archive on the selection mask.
